I’m all for impeachment but I wasn’t sure if the OP meant start it immediately, or let the report stew with the public for a little bit longer and hear Mueller testify in public, which would obviously be quite dramatic.

I think timing is of some importance here. Another poster said more or less the same thing better than I am but their point was to let the storm build for a while before dropping the hammer. I don’t get the sense this is going to fade into the background any time soon, quite the contrary.
